Police Authority consult on Green Paper
Friday 3rd October 2008 Gregg Redford

Nottinghamshire Police Authority is asking for views on the Government's idea of directly elected members of the Police Authority.

 

In the Green Paper on Policing the Government proposes changes to the membership of Police Authorities.  Currently membership comprises nine councillor members and eight Independent Members.   The Councillor Members have all been elected to serve on local councils before their appointment to the Police Authority, which is currently decided by their councils. The Independent Members respond to local advertisements and are appointed by a panel which includes representatives from the Home Office.

 

The Green Paper suggests that the majority of members should be directly elected to serve on the Police Authority.  It is anticipated that the cost of these elections in the first year would be over £18 million.

 

The Police Authority is asking:

  • If you would turn out to vote for directly elected members of the Police Authority?
  • If you think that this would be a good way to spend public money?
  • If you would be interested in standing publicly for election as a member of the Police Authority?

Please email your response; to npa@nottinghamshire.pnn.police.uk
